Absolutely ridiculous but it serves its purpose - treat non-Tesla gasoline engine auto owners as lower class subjects.

Interesting Tesla note from Yesterday. I own a rental that backs up against a two-lane road. The area bordering the road isn’t accessible from the house due to a fence. Therefore, I have to walk a self-propelled mower along the road. I use the opposite side so I can watch oncoming traffic and the motor is running because I’m too old to push a dead self-propelled. I stay off the grass because I’d be cutting it and it would take forever to get where I need to go.
There are usually very few cars and drivers almost universally move slightly over the center or otherwise give me plenty of space and I give them eye contact, a smile, nod of appreciation and sometimes a friendly wave. Yesterday, the ONLY car to give me zero space was a Tesla. I was concerned about getting brushed, so I stepped off the road into thick grass to avoid getting hit. Zero eye contact with the driver as she pretended, I wasn’t there.
I think her attitude was, “Hey, I own this road. This road is for me and THAT is a polluting gas thing.” My guess from just seeing her face was she’d be unpleasant to be around.
